Women’s history month draws to a close just as Sucker Punch’s girl army hits the big screen.

Coincidence? Probably.

But to parents who grew up with The Bionic Woman and Tank Girl, there’s something appealing about a naming a daughter after a daring female figure. The women on this list are handy in a fight, quick with a sword or a wand, and might have a super power or secret government clearance, too.

Not every appealing character wears a great name. Sucker Punch’s heroine answers to Babydoll. You probably wouldn’t consider Agent 99 or The Bride, either. (Though The Bride’s given name, Beatrix, is quite stylish.)

Here are some of the better-known tough girls, many of which would wear well in the 21st century:

Anya – AnyaSofia Corazon is the new Spider-Girl, also known as Araña, in the Spider-Man universe.

Buffy – Despite a big screen debut and seven seasons on television, we haven’t met many bitty Buffys. But rookie screenwriter WhitAnderson has been tapped to reboot the vampire slayer’s story. Could the third time be the charm?
